WE NEED SOME POLITICS. YOUR THOUGHTS?

running away with a correlation or two is very bad science.

Please don't tell me you're arguing against the theory that the quickly depletion in the number of pirates has caused global warming!

Anyway, regardless of whether or not there's more oil to be tapped, we need to stop using it anyway. No matter how much there is, it's not going to be enough, especially with China ramping up their usage.

And yeah, Him, my experience with conservatives is in line with Holb's. They think it's more or less impossible for humans to have an impact on the world's environment, and that even if we could it wouldn't matter because it would cost too much money.

...then again, the conservatives I know are Rush Limbaugh fans, and they have actually stated in full honesty that they'd willingly pay more money to do something in a way that counteracted environmentalists' efforts just to spite them since Rush said he would be. Which in all honestly doesn't sound particularly conservative (I would classify that political affiliation as "looney"), but they self-identify as conservative anyway. Speaking of which, I've recently decided that Rush Limbaugh isn't a real person, but a satirical character being played by a liberal, like Stephen Colbert or Archie Bunker. He's too cartoonish to be real.

I hope something really bad happens to Rush Limbaugh. The FBI won't let me say WHAT though, specifically. But you get my drift.

He has advocated violence and rioting in Denver as a result of the democrat national convention. He's "dreaming of riots in denver." He wants there to be chaos, destruction of property, and maybe even some deaths as a result of his petty political schemes.

Right wing Christians are pretty out there.

C'mon now, Hillary, just give up already...

At least four superdelegates -- those party insiders who will likely be needed to push him over the top in his contest with rival Hillary Clinton -- jumped to the Obama camp Wednesday.

Meanwhile, Clinton lost one her most important superdelegate supporters -- former presidential nominee George McGovern.

He said he told former President Bill Clinton he was switching his support to Obama. McGovern also urged Hillary Clinton in public to drop out of the race.

Meanwhile, Clinton's bid for the Democratic presidential nomination is on shaky ground as insiders say she won't be able to pick up enough delegates to win. She's also facing a money crunch.

It just seems time to bow out gracefully as she can.

The concept of "quit" is not programmed into Hillary Clinton. She will fight to the bitter end.

Dammit, harmonic. How am I supposed to not vote for her now that you've put THIS image in my mind?!



And I liked Obama so much better, too. Oh, well.

I don't get it.

I think the Republicans have a very sucky candidate. John McCain is just too... low-brow. I haven't heard much out of him other ZzZz's in all of the pictures they seem to capture of him. Makes him seem like some sleeping old man... Which seems to be like what he is.

And between Obama and Hilary, I seriously like Obama more. Hilary scares the heck out of me. But honestly, I was kind of rooting for Ron Paul, just to see what he'd do differently. A billion people have already pointed out his faults, but some were misplaced/over-hyped.

Meh. I'm in Texas, so it's not like if I voted Obama it would help him out. McCain will probably win Texas since we're a conservative state. I would be surprised if he didn't. Then again, Democrats are making record turn-out when it comes to registering and voting and the like, so we'll see. Obama seems to have a plan though. I need to go renew my voter's registration, whee.

Ron Paul needs to be cloned and put in the head position of every single financial committee in washington so he can remind us that our shit does stink every now and then.

The only thing worse than Libertarianism is Fascism. It has that beat. Thank God Ron Paul is out.

Clinton may be a better candidate to win because they're so right wing that conservatives will vote for her. I don't think the for the democrats to win is to become more like the republicans.

Florida is primarily old people.

This is classic Karsuman <3

Anyway, Obama has a way better chance at beating McCain for this single reason: he doesn't exude a personality that makes ordinary people dislike him like nurse Ratched Hillary does. Republicans who would otherwise just not vote at all hate Hillary enough to vote against her (and not necessarily FOR McCain).
